For her 2018 debut with SI Swimsuit, Olivia Culpo took part in a meaningful “In Her Own Words” body paint feature with Taylor Ballantyne in a Brooklyn studio. She went on to return to the publication each year through ’21. 

Culpo’s sophomore feature with the brand took her to Australia, where she posed for photographer Josie Clough on Kangaroo Island. The 31-year-old former Miss Universe landed the magazine’s cover in 2020 alongside fellow models Kate Bock and Jasmine Sanders. The trio were photographed in Bali by visual artist Yu Tsai. 

The reality TV star and model has been very open about her journey with endometriosis, and in fact, previously told SI Swimsuit that her surgery scars from her November 2020 procedure are her favorite part of her body. Her latest SI Swimsuit feature was captured by Ben Watts in Hollywood, Fla., the following year.

“They’re amazing,” Culpo stated of her scars. “My surgeon did such a great job and they’re small. Not that I wouldn’t love them if they were bigger. I’m honestly so proud of them but I absolutely love them.”

Below are eight photos from Culpo’s 2021 photo shoot in Florida that we adore almost as much as her body-positive outlook.
